NCT ID NCT06737887
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether having patients practice with a stoma bag one day before surgery can lower their anxiety and help them adjust afterward. About 58 adults scheduled for stoma surgery will either get this simulation or standard care. Researchers will measure anxiety levels and how well patients adapt to the stoma after the operation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
stoma simulation (a practice session with a stoma bag)
What this could lead to
If it works, this simple practice session could help patients feel less anxious and adjust better to life with a stoma after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 58 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The simulation is a one-time practice, and its long-term benefits are uncertain.
